Technology company, I will become the light of China!

While Chen Xing was using WeChat to call Ren Guofei and Lei Jun to share the good news, millions of Chinese viewers were also happy for Zhou Yu's victory in the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix Germany.

"I wonder who dares to say that Longguo Automobile is not good. First, the Linghang 001 ignited the domestic new energy vehicle market, and then the Hurricane X beat Ferrari and won the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix. I just want to ask who else can say that?"

"The tide of the times is rolling forward. I didn't feel anything about this before, but now I have finally experienced what it means to strive hard to catch up, until the opponent can't catch up anymore!"

"I have to say, Mr. Chen is a ruthless man. When he was developing mobile phones, he conquered chips, batteries, OLED screens, and communication networks. Now he is developing cars and has directly cut off their foundations, even abandoning the engine. Such an opponent is really frustrating."

"This is great wisdom. In a head-on fight, you are facing an opponent with a century of accumulated experience. It is like the opponent has circled you and taken the inside line. It is basically impossible for you to overtake on the curve. But if there is a shortcut, there is the possibility of surpassing the opponent."

"I understand. It's just like going through a bend in a drainage ditch. As long as you don't flip over, it's the fastest!"

"I don't know how much the Hurricane X costs. If it's less than 1000 million, I need to buy one for my collection. If nothing else, it's just to support Mr. Chen and the rise of domestic brands!"

Live streaming rooms across the entire network were frantically posting comments. Even when the broadcast signal disappeared and the screen went black, no one noticed anything was wrong.

Because watching the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix is ​​a niche thing in Longguo, and there are very few car enthusiasts in the country.

However, with Chen Xing, Lei Jun, and Ren Guofei personally promoting the Hurricane X and stating that it would participate in the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix, this event has attracted attention in the Dragon Country.

The heated discussions among netizens and Zhou Yu's victory in driving the Hurricane X also alarmed the leadership of the National Taiwan University. They certainly could not miss such big news, which was also big news that proved the industrial foundation of the Dragon Country.

15 minutes after the end of the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix in Germany, the national TV station hurriedly sent out a congratulatory message, raising the heat to a higher level.

[Congratulations to our country's racing driver @周宇, who won the 2016 FIA GT Grand Prix Germany Championship, taking the lead in getting 5 points and ranking first. The car he drove was the Hurricane X supercar manufactured by @龙兴重工.

This victory not only reflects the super high level of our country's racing drivers, but also shows the comprehensive upgrade of our country's industrialization system. Let us once again congratulate Zhou Yu for winning the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix German Championship, and thank Longxing Heavy Industry for manufacturing such a powerful racing car. I wish you a successful year! ]
The national TV station’s specific praise also led to many local media reposting the article, and various marketing accounts also responded, fearing that they would not be able to get this wave of traffic.

"There has been no Chinese race for 20 years. Today, Zhou Yu successfully fought his way out of the competition. His car, the Hurricane X, crushed the Ferrari head-on!"

"The great power strikes hard, the Dragon Country's industrialization is fully upgraded, and the Hurricane X defeats Ferrari and becomes the most powerful sports car today!"

《Shock! Ferrari exploded, Maserati broke down, Mercedes-Benz and BMW disintegrated on the track. Is this a moral decline or a distortion of human nature? Watch the drama of the year, Zhou Yu and his Hurricane X!》

"Hurricane" swept across Europe, Zhou Yu defeated the legendary veteran and the new double champion to win the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix Germany Championship. This is not only the first time for a Chinese player to stand on the stage of the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix, but also the first time for a Chinese car brand to appear in a top global event. Let us cheer and celebrate the "upgrade" of our motherland! "

The collective screen swiping by the media also made "Zhou Yu Wins the Championship", "Hurricane X" and "FIA GT Grand Prix" top the hot search lists of major platforms such as Weibo, Douyin and Bilibili, with over 100 million views in just half an hour.

Due to the slow development of Longguo in modern times, it has only been a dozen years since it solved the problem of food and clothing. If you count five years ago, many families did not even have cars, so there was no need to watch car races.

However, with the collective bombardment of national TV stations, self-media, and bloggers, the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix has also been known to a large number of Chinese people. They quietly followed the live broadcast room and are looking forward to when the next race will start.

Just as the whole country was celebrating, the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix released a long announcement on its official accounts on TikTok and Twitter, pouring cold water on the tens of millions of Chinese people who were paying attention to this matter.

[Dear contestants, global audiences and partners:

It is with heavy and mixed feelings that we make this announcement regarding the championship results of the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix Germany.

After a rigorous and meticulous post-race review and testing by the race organizing committee, we have to regretfully announce that the Hurricane X supercar that won the championship in this race violated Article 6 of the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix Competition Rules, which stipulates the specific provisions on car design and equipment, and illegally used electric power drive, which seriously affected the fairness of the competition.

Therefore, according to the competition rules and relevant regulations, we have decided to revoke the championship qualification of the driver Zhou Yu, and reserve the right to take further corresponding measures.

In this competition, we always uphold the principles of fairness, justice and openness, and are committed to providing all participants with a stage to demonstrate their speed and skills and challenge their limits.

However, we are also aware that while pursuing speed and passion, we must strictly abide by the rules of the game to ensure the fairness of the game. Therefore, we will re-host the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix Germany race tomorrow. Thank you for your continued support. ]
The release of a long announcement brought the smiles of many overseas Chinese to an abrupt end. No one expected that the organizer of the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix Germany would be so shameless.

All of a sudden.

TikTok’s related videos were met with a barrage of criticism.

[European and American foodies]: "You can't afford it, right? You can't afford it? The world's four top racing competitions are actually using the deletion and blacklisting method?"

[Invincible Xiao Chen]: "This really makes me laugh to death. Is this the freedom and fairness that the West has been promoting? If you can't beat them, just block them. I think I have seen what Schrodinger's fairness is!"

[Spice Girls in New York]: "I used to love watching the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix, but now I just want to say, why don't you just give the trophy to Ferrari instead of wasting money on the race?"

Not only overseas Chinese are angry, but even foreigners who love car racing are angry for Zhou Yu and Hurricane X at this moment.

[Jewette Harder] (France): "I think today will go down in history as a day of shame for the automotive industry because I saw insider trading. If Zhou Yu's Hurricane X didn't meet the rules, why was he allowed to race?"

[Moss Bertwin] (USA): "So this is how Ferrari wins the championship. No matter how things develop, I will always remember that today Ferrari was blown up by the Hurricane X in the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix. This is an indisputable fact!"

[Aziz Doragni] (Germany): "As a German, I am ashamed of such shady dealings. Longguo cars are very good, far better than Ferrari, Maserati and McLaren. If I had the chance, I would buy a Hurricane X for my collection."

It was believed that racing had no borders, but this sudden and blatant inside information angered racing fans all over the world.

This is like a chocolate that you have treasured for years and were reluctant to eat, but one day you bite into it and find out it is made of shit. Who wouldn't feel disgusted?
This move by the organizers of the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix Germany has completely aroused public indignation. Many people who love racing have spontaneously taken to the streets to speak up for Hurricane X, believing that cars are pure and should not be controlled by capital.

Far away in Maranello, Italy, a large number of racing fans hit it off and headed straight to Ferrari's headquarters showroom.

“Boycott Ferrari!”

The middle-aged man in a red hat who was leading the group shouted loudly. He held a loud speaker and stood on the hood of the limited edition LaFerrari in the exhibition hall. Judging from his attire and the Patek Philippe on his left hand, he was not short of money and did not care about the damage to the LaFerrari under his feet.

His cry was loudly repeated by the hundreds of people who followed him.

“Boycott Ferrari!!!”

"Ferrari is a champion thief!"

“Ferrari is the champion thief!!!”

“Ferrari can’t afford to lose!”

“Ferrari can’t afford to lose!!!”

Hundreds of people gathered and shouted, and the security guards at the Ferrari headquarters did not dare to act rashly. They only had a fixed salary and did not want to take risks.

You can earn money again if you lose it, but if you lose your life, no amount of money will be of any use.

Although they did not stop it, they did respond. Not only did they send someone to notify their leader, they also called the police.

Meeting room on the sixth floor.

Piero Ferrari was still lecturing. He couldn't accept that Ferrari was blown up by the Hurricane X and was scolding the designer.

"咚咚-"

Just as he was cursing, there was a knock on the meeting room door.

Before Piero Ferrari could react, the secretary opened the door and reported in a panic: "Something happened to the president. A group of crazy people came to the exhibition hall on the first floor. The leader was standing on the Lafa and calling for a boycott of Ferrari."

"what?"

Piero Ferrari could no longer sit still.

Not only him, but everyone in the conference room could not sit still and rushed to the Ferrari showroom on the first floor.

You should know that the vehicles in the exhibition hall on the first floor are not simple. They are basically out-of-print Ferraris, and each one is priceless.

When Piero Ferrari and a group of executives hurried to the first floor, he looked at the middle-aged man standing on the hood of the first-generation LaFerrari and the dent. His eyes darkened. This dent was worth at least 100 million US dollars.

“Boycott Ferrari!”

“Boycott Ferrari!!!”

"Hurricane X is the champion!"

"Hurricane X is the champion!!!"

The shouting continued. Piero Ferrari looked at the excited crowd and the people who kept coming in. He gritted his teeth and looked at the senior officials on the side and said, "Why haven't the police come yet? Do they want us to take action?"

Just then, the middle-aged man standing on the hood of the car saw Piero Ferrari and pointed his index finger at him, saying, "The son of the founder of Ferrari has come out. We must make him give an explanation!"

In an instant, the crowd surrounded Piero Ferrari in three circles inside and three circles outside. The excited racing fans not only scolded him, but also spit on his clothes, causing the executives around him to sacrifice themselves to block the "water", barely preventing Piero Ferrari from being so embarrassed.

"stop!!!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Piero Ferrari roared.

The crowd was intimidated by his angry eyes and fell silent.

Piero Ferrari suppressed his anger and looked at the middle-aged man in the lead. He knew this man, named Dusty Peterson, who was a blacklisted customer of Ferrari. Because he made more than ten billion US dollars by reselling Ferrari, he was put on the blacklist by Piero Ferrari and was no longer allowed to buy Ferrari vehicles.

Perhaps many people don’t know that Ferrari has extremely high collection value.

For example, some limited-edition Ferrari models may be purchased for 2000 million yuan, but after a dozen years, they may be sold for 3000 million yuan or even 4000 million yuan.

Although Ferrari has limited-sale models every year, its outrageous purchasing conditions make many people sigh that their wallets are not deep enough.

As for the purchase conditions of limited-sale models, they are similar to those of Chanel. If you want to buy a limited-sale bag, you must spend a sufficient amount of money every year, in other words, points. If you don’t have enough points, no one will sell it to you.

This is why Ferrari cars have collection value.

Because it is not only limited in quantity, but also limited in purchase. However, it is also because of this casual sales model that Ferrari had to sell itself to the Fiat Group to avoid bankruptcy.

"Dusty Peterson, what do you want to do?" Piero Ferrari asked loudly.

"I?"

Dusty Peterson sneered, glanced at the crowd and said, "Of course, we are here to laugh at you Ferrari for not being able to accept defeat. After the engine was blown up, you still wanted to cheat and embarrass your father. Oh, and your father is embarrassed too, after all, Ferrari lost miserably to Ford!"

"What are you talking about?"

“Who can’t afford to lose?”

"Who the hell can't afford to lose?"

Piero Ferrari was so excited that he walked up to Dusty Peterson and grabbed his collar, ready to fight.

But the crowd around them suddenly became agitated, as if they would rush forward if anyone took action.

A dozen or so Ferrari executives were still rational, after all, their fathers were not insulted, so they hurried to dissuade Piero Ferrari.

"If you have something to say, please say it nicely. Don't fight with me."

"That's right, we don't know why you are here now."

"Let go of your hands and explain clearly. Only by explaining clearly can the problem be solved."

After being dissuaded by senior executives, Piero Ferrari and Dusty Peterson were separated and the two almost came to blows.

"Tell me, why do you say we can't afford to lose?" Piero Ferrari's eyes were wide open, as if he was going to eat someone.

"See for yourself." Dusty Peterson took out his cell phone and handed it directly to Piero Ferrari.

After scanning the announcement, he realized that his family had been framed, or in other words, Ferrari might have been used as a shield.

Hurricane X was accused of violations, Zhou Yu's championship was stripped and he was banned. Who will benefit?

1. Ferrari.

2. Maserati Racing Team.

3. Other participating teams.

It can be said that except for the MVP team, all other teams benefited because they could run again.

If we run again, who will benefit the most?
1. Ferrari team, which has seven-time champion driver Maxime Rossi, and the performance of Ferrari XXK is second only to Hurricane X among the participating models.

2. Maserati team, its driver Gail Glover has won two consecutive championships, and the Maserati MC 14 is one of the few sports cars that can compete with Ferrari.

Both of them are favorites to win the championship, and both of them have reasons not to lose, but a "third party" intervenes and makes them both supporting roles.

Are you willing?
Not reconciled!
Therefore, these two teams are the most suspicious!
When Ferrari's headquarters was under siege, Maserati's headquarters was also smashed and vandalized by racing fans who vented their anger.

Now they feel a bit like the fans of Little Dragon Girl in "The Return of the Condor Heroes". She was everyone's white moonlight, but was ruined by Yi Zhiping. It is no exaggeration to say that the actor who played Yin Zhiping at that time had to wear sunglasses when going out, for fear that irrational fans would snap him.

After reading the long announcement of the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix, Piero Ferrari glanced at the crowd and swore to God:
"I know you all think that we were the ones behind the scenes who made the MVP team lose the championship, but here, I can swear to God that if I, Piero Ferrari, and my men have done something to the MVP team, let me, my family, and my descendants go to hell together!"

"hiss--"

When this curse was uttered, the anger of the audience around him immediately subsided, because this curse was too vicious. Not only would it send him to hell, but it would also send his family and future generations to hell.

"I can swear to that, too."

"I can too."

"If we Ferrari did something bad, I am willing to endure the punishment in hell forever and never be reborn as a human again."

"I also swear..."

Ferrari executives swore an oath one by one to prevent the situation from getting out of control, and when the police arrived, the crowd was evacuated.

Looking at the mess in the exhibition hall, Piero Ferrari could no longer suppress his anger. He smashed the hood of the limited edition LaFerrari and said viciously, "Find out immediately who is framing us."

"I checked...I checked it out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a senior executive immediately responded to him. During the riot, he called the organizer of the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix Germany to inquire about the inside story.

"explain."

Piero Ferrari's patience was running out.

He is very angry now. This is the first time that the Ferrari showroom has been smashed. What is damaged is not only the cars but also the reputation of Ferrari.

Whether as a person or as a business, reputation is very important.

If you are full of lies and none of the ten words you say are true, then basically no one will be willing to be friends with you sincerely.

The same goes for companies. Companies that lose their credibility will gradually be abandoned by the market, especially Ferrari, which is a car company that relies heavily on "old users".

"It was the decision of the organizers of the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix Germany. They also said that there will be another race tomorrow, this time without the Dragon Country team and the Hurricane X. I hope we can defend the honor of Ferrari again."

"I honor the fucking abalone!"

As soon as the executive finished speaking, Piero Ferrari couldn't help but start cursing.

Want them to rematch?

Do they dare to compete?
Suppose Ferrari won the championship, what would others think?
They will say that it was Ferrari that secretly played tricks and prevented the Longguo team from participating in the competition, and that Ferrari is just a name in vain.

Won.

Reputation is bad.

Lost.

His reputation has also been ruined.

"Inform the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix that we, Ferrari, will permanently withdraw from the competition to defend the fairness of the competition. Losing is losing."

Piero Ferrari said in a deep voice with a firm look in his eyes.

The Ferrari brand became successful because of his father's love for cars and his dedication to racing.

If they had no bottom line, Ferrari would have been acquired by Ford Group long ago and become their tool to make money.

Although Ferrari has now been sold to the Fiat Group, it still has independent management rights and others will not interfere with the operation of the company.

"I'll notify them immediately."

"besides."

As soon as the executive picked up his phone, Piero Ferrari continued, "Issue a group announcement to recognize the championship of MVP Team and Hurricane X. We will never get involved in corruption."

"I'll do it right away."

Executives took immediate action.

Some of them informed the organizers of the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix, some wrote a statement, and some even called Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Rice Company to express their recognition of Hurricane X and hope to discuss the car together.

……

Only ten minutes later, the Ferrari Group released a global announcement.

[We acknowledge that the MVP team won the championship of the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix Germany. We recognize Zhou Yu's skills and believe that Hurricane X did not violate the rules of the competition. Our group believes that there are shady behaviors in this FIA GT Grand Prix and we firmly resist it. Therefore, the Ferrari Group has decided to withdraw from the 2016 FIA GT Grand Prix for the whole year until the rectification is completed! ]
Due to the spread of TikTok, which is not controlled by Jewish capital, this announcement from the Ferrari Group has also been widely circulated.

All of a sudden.

One stone caused a thousand waves!

The netizens who initially questioned that it was Ferrari's doing were shocked. They didn't expect that Ferrari was so bold as to actually participate in the competition and speak for an unrelated car company.

But in fact, Ferrari is not speaking for others, but for itself, because if Ferrari does not express its position, it would be tantamount to acknowledging that Ferrari is behind the scenes.

Racing car, racing car, racing car.

As a brand that focuses on racing, if Ferrari is accused of shady dealings, the consequence could be its complete destruction.

Not only Ferrari, but also Maserati, BMW Group, Mercedes-Benz Group and Ford Group have spoken out one after another to defend Zhou Yu and Hurricane X, and do not believe that new energy vehicles have violated any regulations in the competition.

Are they having a change of heart?
Do not!
They are afraid of taking the blame.

When all the car companies have spoken out one after another, if anyone remains silent, the onlookers will naturally think that this is the murderer who framed the MVP team.

So they were forced to do so, not because they felt guilty.

Chen Xing, who was far away in Long Country, was still thinking about discussing this with Lei Jun and Ren Guofei, but they didn't expect that before they even took any action, friendly competitors would stand up to support them.

"The sun comes out in the west?"

Ren Guofei was puzzled.

"It's a bit strange. It feels like we are just reaping the benefits without doing anything, yet they just give us exposure for no reason." Lei Jun was also stunned.

Just now they were discussing how to confront the organizers of the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix and create a new wave of popularity.

"I don't know if it's my illusion, but the automotive industry is going too smoothly. Our competitors are constantly assisting us, so we don't need to put in any effort at all."

Chen Xing was also confused.

Ever since they started making cars, rival car companies have either launched joint complaints or resorted to moral blackmail, causing almost no damage to Longxing Heavy Industries, but dealing a heavy blow to themselves.

This is a bit like when you are scheduled to fight and the other person takes out a fruit knife. You think it will be a fierce fight, but unexpectedly he stabs himself first.

"It's indeed a bit too smooth. If I had known that making cars was so easy, I would not have formed a joint venture with you in the first place," Lei Jun joked.

"I don't want to break up with you yet." Ren Guofei responded with a smile.

"Why don't we break up? I always feel that making cars is too easy. You two brothers, go out and give me some pressure." Chen Xing also joked with a smile.

"No, no, no."

Lei Bushi quickly refused, muttering: "Who can put pressure on you? The 300 kWh Thor battery is still in the warehouse."

"That's right, it would be good if you don't put pressure on us." Ren Guofei echoed.

The two are now following Chen Xing. As the old saying goes, many hands make light work. Asking them to go out and set up their own sect and fight against Chen Xing, do you really think they are stupid?
"Haha." Chen Xing chuckled twice and responded to them: "Let's not discuss this anymore. We should think about how to do something with the help from our friendly competitors this time."

"That's right, business matters."

"Why not just mass-produce Hurricane X?"

"I think I can."

……

While Chen Xing, Ren Guofei and Lei Jun were thinking about what to do next after receiving the "assist" from their friendly competitors, far away in Berlin, Germany, the president of the Automobile Association, Orenz Bond, had been beaten black and blue by Sheru Mena, with cotton wool stuffed in his nostrils to stop the bleeding.

He thought that getting beaten up was worth it as long as he had done what his superiors told him to do. But just when he was about to take credit, his superiors called him again.

"Mr. Marcelo Berger..."

Before he could finish his words, the other party interrupted him and said, "I don't care what method you use, immediately restore the MVP team's eligibility to participate in the competition, and recognize that the Hurricane X can be used as a competition car. Within three days, if there is still public opinion, you can go home and retire."

Hearing the unquestionable tone on the other end of the phone, Orenz Bond felt like a thousand alpaca horses were galloping through his heart.

Let it be you who is disqualified.

It is you who will be the one to have your qualifications restored!
I guess he got beaten for nothing?
At this moment, Orenz Bond sends his most sincere blessings to Marcelo Berger.

"I *your mother!"
